You said people either spend a limited resource on something or get it for free and they can't do both. Yet I can spend a limited resource (my disability) on several things and at the same time get money back for free because I'm spending it. So I can do both. I even get a little extra cash on the money I don't spend.

3k on a bicycle? Maybe if you're competing in the Tour de France.

Not really supposed to post this here, so if the link gets deleted, google for the pet store of a major subscription-based (not even F2P) MMO, the one made by the company that sounds chilly.

In any case, I think we need some perspective.

Personally I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for any of those, but lots of people do and they obviously make money off of it.

It costs what it costs. Either it's worth it to you at that cost, or it's not. Do you try to haggle with the theatre manager over the cost of your ticket and popcorn, or with your cable company over your bill?

A couple of months ago, I could have said this about Beam Rifle users... or a few years back, Archers or Dual Blades/Willpower scrappers.

Right now, it's the new hotness and everyone has to have one. It will pass. The novelty will wear off, and soon you won't see more than one or two in such a crowd.

it comes out to $6.25 not including tax.

if only it did have a couple emotes. or even the ability to name it like MM pets. then it would have to be targetable, of course, but so is the mini-vas and it's otherwise untouchable so i dont see why we cant have the tiny extra step of naming it. or something extra. ANYthing extra, and it might be a little more worth it.

also, it's a german shepard. a wolf might also be worth the price but the dog is so specific. wolves can be a little easier to match to theme, which vanity pets are usually attributed.

and as far as them covering their costs of the new rig, i assumed that came from the lulls in things being produced in which i was still paying my subscription. and they dont lose money when you sub for longer periods, rather they have financial security and it averages out to the players that stop subbing for a couple days or weeks or months at a time when their sub ends or between sub periods.

anyway, im just sayin, IMO it's over priced even just a little. but everyone is entitled to their opinion
